Hosea 1:1-2:1
by liv on Jul.28, 2009, under my thoughts and heart..., reading reflections
When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the LORD.” So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. v. 1:2-3
Have you ever wondered what kind of man Hosea was? I mean, seriously. For God to tell you, “look, I want you to marry this woman and she will become a whore. She will give birth and then she will leave you. She will leave you in hopes of finding something better, something different. She will never be satisfied. While she does this I want you to love her. I want you to care for her from afar. I want you to reflect the kind of love that I have and will show to the people of Israel….’

When I signed up to be an R.A. I never thought I would be placed on a hall that didn’t have a name. Never, in a million years, did I think that I would be responsible for naming a hall. Hall names are forever. Seriously. They make up the identity of the hall, the reputation of it throughout campus. Nope, I didn’t think that job would be mine nor did I want that kind of burden. What if my kid comes here and finds out that I named the hall…

I remember when I first cracked the book open. I was on a flight to Denver, Co to look at Denver Seminary and was sitting next to one of my best friends. As I started reading the preface, I started to get goose bumps. Then it became hard to read the words on the page.

Baby was sleeping. I had a few hours to get some stuff done. I pulled out my laptop, plugged it in, and waited for it to boot-up. Itunes launched and I remembered that I had about 6 minutes of a sermon I had began listening to on the morning of July 16–the day Will had his accident.

Seriously, mom? Again?

give me life
by liv on Jul.09, 2009, under reading reflections
Give me life
by calling me to die
Give me life
by calling me your own
Give me life
by loving me beyond my failures
Give me life
by saving me to yourself
Give me life
by being all that you are, to me.
Inspired from Psalm 119:154-159
